Jason starts off the interview by asking Kevin about the Brexit vote to leave and what it means for European banks and the British Pound?

Helen found out from Madoff himself how he kept $3-$6 billion in cash all the time in his account at JP Morgan Chase!

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, editor of the Hat Trick Letter at Golden Jackass http://www.goldenjackass.com/, Jim Willie.

During this hour+ long interview, Jason asks Jim questions about the global economy and markets including:

1) Former Goldman Sachs alumni and current Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President recently said in public that the Federal Reserve serves Main St. Do you agree with him?

2) Will the powerful politicians and bureaucrats running the EU allow Brexit to occur?

Look inside the ECB's asset buying (manipulation) program (of propaganda) http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-13...

3) Do you think the economic and political elites were meeting at the recent Bilderberg meeting to discuss how to implement fully digital currencies and a cashless society on a global scale?

4) Do you think the US wants a new president in place in Brazil to allow US oil companies to buy up assets from PetroBras as Petrobras faces financial problems from low oil prices and too much debt? Are the Chinese also planning how to get involved in this with strategic investments into mining and oil in Brazil?

5) China is now issuing RMB bonds from it's BRICs bank and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. In your opinion what does this mean for the global financial system and the Petro Dollar?

6) Bloomberg recently ran an article saying that the Chinese want to have more control over how all commodities are priced since China is the largest buyer of many commodities. Do you think China is doing a step by step process to castrate the LBMA and the COMEX?

7) Do you think there's a manipulation tug of war in the oil market between Russia/Saudis who want the higher cost producers all bankrupt while Wall St banks want to move oil prices higher to avoid declaring tens of billions in bad oil loans?

• What investors do you pay attention to and how would you describe your investing methodology?

• Your hedge fund that you run with Bill Laggner didn’t do well at all from 2013-2015. What lessons did you learn from your mistakes and, in hindsight, why do you think markets acted differently than you expected?

• Why do you think the stock market hasn't crashed yet?

• What's your view on the global economy? Do you think a strong US Dollar can potentially collapse the global economy if the Dollar had continued to strengthen?

Kevin answers these questions and also gives our listeners some industries to research for investment during the interview.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and independent financial journalist and managing editor of The News Doctors, Eric Dubin are back for Episode #22 of their Welcome to Dystopia show.

all the way to the convention. But he will ultimately fall in line.

was in a public meeting with Senator Harry Reid. All Sanders could bring
himself to do was look down at the floor, offering no comment to
assembled reporters. Video and full story:

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed hedge fund manager, author and newsletter writer of Addicted to Profits http://addictedtoprofits.net/, Dave Skarica.

During this hour+ long interview, Jason starts off by asking Dave about his book Collapse! he wrote in 2014 and why the stock market hasn't collapsed?

Dave talks about the global economy and how different central banks are trying to keep the party going and fueling asset bubbles, etc.

Dave thinks if the stock market crashes before the November 2016 election that it guarantees a win for Donald Trump in the election.

Next, Jason asks Dave about legendary investor Sir John Templeton since Jason and Dave have both studied the investments and career of John Templeton. Jason asks Dave what Templeton would have been buying the last year or so and what Templeton would have been shorting using his investing methodology if Templeton were still alive? Dave says Templeton made a fortune investing in copper and base metal miners when they were very cheap in the mid-late 1990s and Templeton probably would have been buying gold stocks and other resource stocks in the last year because many were at the point of maximum pessimism.

Jason and Dave discuss the gold mining industry and why gold has had a rally since December.

Dave thinks ultimately all global central bankers are trapped and there will be a worse stagflation coming. He also thinks central banks will unintentionally create a new commodities bubble as central banks attempt to devalue their fiat currencies.

Josh talks about negative real interest rates and how the gold bull market has actually been going on for more than 2 years in other currencies besides the US Dollar.

Jason and Josh discuss negative interest rate policy and the attempt by many global central banks to implement financial repression.

Josh says that gold will be an even more attractive alternative for investment and savings the more attempts central banks try at manipulating interest rates down or taxing people to keep money at a bank account as part of negative interest rate policy or NIRP.

Jason then starts asking Josh a lot of questions about the Bitgold business model like what problems in the market was Bitgold created to solve?

Bitgold has recently added the ability for businesses to pay payrolls in gold and pay dividends in gold for free to users and Bitgold is rapidly approaching 1 million users/customers in a little over a year.

David talks about how he was a reporter with a math background who was researching the NSA and our online security and he found out some of the bad things the BSA was doing with the data of American citizens before Edward Snowden did.

David became fascinated with gold, Bitgold, Bitcoin and crypto currencies and he began researching about money and reading many technical, white papers about Bitcoin.

David takes pride reading complicated white papers on the math and technology behind Bitcoin and Ethereum and explaining them in easier to understand terms for videos on his YouTube channel and in his written paid newsletter.

Jason asks David about the problems with Bitcoin in layman's terms and if Bitcoin developers are working on fixing them asap?

David says Bitcoin is in a difficult transition now and it was originally designed to only have added security measures to prevent it from being hacked rather than the source code being made for lots of extra innovation.

Jason then asks David about the other crypto currencies like Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc and what differences, if any, they have between themselves and Bitcoin?

David calls these coins copycats using copy and past from the Bitcoin source code but he says the real innovations from Bitcoin and the block chain technology are from Ethereum, which he calls Bitcoin 2.0 on his videos.

Jason then asks David more about Ethereum and the innovations.

Jason and David have an interesting discussion about gold, debt based fiat currency and the problems with the current money system now. Jason asks David if he is seeing increased usage of Bitcoin and Bitgold in collapsing countries like Venezuela, Argentina, etc?

Jason and Eric talk about the Deutsche Bank class action lawsuit Jim Sinclair is filing that precious metal miners are joining.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, Certified Market Technician (CMT) and editor of The Daily Goldhttp://thedailygold.com/, Jordan Roy-Byrne. Jordan has about a decade of experience investing and trading stocks especially gold stocks and commodities stocks.

During this 35+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Jordan why he thinks gold started to rally in December 2015/January 2016 after a long and painful cyclical bear market since 2011?

Jordan talks about how there's negative interest rates now and how central bankers seem to want interest rates to go further negative. Jordan talks about how in past gold bull markets interest rates were also negative. This includes the past gold bull markets during the 1940s and the 1970s when Paul Volcker was raising interest rates sky high. Jordan says Paul Volcker was not able to raise rates fast enough to keep up with the inflation rate rising so that's why rates were still negative then.

Jason and Jordan then have a very long, in depth discussion about gold miners and why the industry has improving fundamentals.

To wrap up the interview, Jordan names a few of his favorite, profitable gold stocks WS4MS listeners should watch and think about accumulating on dips.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, precious metals expert and author on JS Mineset http://www.jsmineset.com/, Bill Holter.

During this 20+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Bill about his article he published the end of April (<http://www.jsmineset.com/2016/04/26/this...)why he thinks that the global financial system won't last until October.

Bill talks about the problems in the credit and derivatives markets and how the real economy, which is dire and collapsing in his opinion, cannot support the amount of credit/debt already in the global financial system.

Jason and Bill discuss the debt problems in the global economy.

Next, Jason asks Bill about the class action lawsuit Jim Sinclair is filing against Deutsche Bank after they admitted manipulating the gold and silver markets. Jason asks Bill if precious metals investors who have lost many thousands of dollars each are allowed to join the lawsuit? Bill says there will be multiple lawsuits filed but the current lawsuit is for gold and silver mining companies.

Jason and Bill discuss if the US Treasury market can support the Saudis dumping all of their US Treasuries at once and the spike in open interest on the COMEX.

Bill thinks that the perfect storm for silver is now here now that annual silver supply is declining thanks to base metal miners shutting off mines or going bankrupt, strong demand for physical silver and the US Dollar strength appears to have topped.

Bill thinks this will be the precious metals bull market where investors NEVER sell their physical metal or their best gold and silver company shares because currencies are going to collapse all over the globe.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, registered investment adviser (RIA) and popular economic blogger, Mike "Mish" Shedlock www.mishtalk.com. Mish has been blogging about the economy since 2003 and has one of the most popular economics blogs on the internet.

During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Mish about the fluctuations and volatility in currency markets and how that is affecting asset prices?

Mish thinks countries and their central banks are not colluding/manipulating currency exchange rates to take turns devaluing their currencies and that it's basically every man for himself. Mish thinks this has led to many asset bubbles over the years.

Mish talks about how well the gold stocks have done in 2016. Mish expects a 20-25%pullback in gold stocks sometime in the near future but that he would be adding to positions on that dip.

Mish thinks the global economy is collapsing and that things are dire in Japan, China and Europe.

Jason and Mish discuss the rally in oil and oil stocks and also Japan's failures of fighting deflation.

Mish says there's nothing wrong with deflation.

To end the interview, Jason asks Mish where he sees value in any markets and also his thoughts on the 2016 Presidential Election? Mish thinks Donald Trump will win the election but the tariffs on China and other imported goods that Trump is proposing could be dire for the US economy.

Jason and Eric discuss inflation that's still in asset prices and in the global economy.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on first time guest, Erik Townsend. Erik is a former software entrepreneur who is now a hedge fund manager. He also hosts the new Macro Voices podcast http://www.macrovoices.com/

Listeners may also remember Erik from the past being on both the Peak Prosperity podcasts with Chris Martenson and also the Financial Sense Newshour with Jim Puplava.

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason starts off the interview by asking Erik about his background. Erik talks about how he built a successful technology company and then sold it before the technology bubble popped. Erik then, unfortunately, lost a lot of his money after trusting Wall Street with his money. He then started to learn about investing on his own and how to manage his money himself.

Jason and Eric talk about some of the problems with Wall St and the hedge fund industry.

Next, Jason asks Erik if he thinks central banks are trapped? Erik thinks all the major central banks like the US, Japan, ECB, etc are trapped but predicting the timing of any collapse or market crash is almost impossible. He cautions people to avoid making big bets on the stock market crashing in the short term.

Jason then asks Erik about what financial repression is and how people can protect themselves from it? Erik gives an excellent explanation of financial repression and how savers and investors, who have tried to do the right thing financially in their lives, are being penalized. Jason and Erik discuss how negative interest rates and a cashless society are following financial repression.

Jason then asks Erik about the shale oil boom and what that has done to his peak oil thesis? Erik talks about how easy money and credit from the Federal Reserve allowed any oil driller with a pulse to get $$ to drill uneconomic oil wells.

Erik expects oil to go lower again to the low to mid 30s before putting in a full bottom and he thinks there will be excellent investing opportunities for value investors if that does happen.

Jason then asks Erik why he thinks the stock market hasn't crashed yet? Erik thinks lots of money are coming into the US because they think the US Dollar will remain stronger than other fiat currencies.

After this, Jason asks Erik about robots and automation and how entrepreneurs and younger adults will have to adapt to finding new jobs or creating new businesses in the economy.

Erik says how crony capitalism is making things exponentially more difficult for the economy to create more jobs.

Finally, to wrap up the interview, Jason asks Erik which countries or markets does he see value? Erik is looking for another correction in oil but thinks there will be excellent buying opportunities for investors if that does happen.

Wall St for Main St welcomed back John Rubino, who is the editor of The Dollar Collapse and co-author of The Money Bubble. In this podcast, we discussed the feds next move as the economy continues to struggle. Does the feds know what they are doing or are they clueless?

Also, we discussed the best way to invest in the gold and silver market and how technology has been easier for people to move money outside the banking system.

Finally, we touched on Obama's recent press conference on the state of the economy. He is pushing to raise minimum wage in effort to stimulate the economy. This is called the Keynesian multiplier effect and guess what.....it doesn't work! Otherwise, the government stimulus programs should have dug us out of this recession. Plus much more!

Wall St for Main St welcome back Dr. Mark Thornton, who is a Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute.

In this podcast, we discussed the rise of socialism in the U.S. and why it has become a popular ideology among the young voters in this election. We also discussed why capitalism has become less popular and what we can do to show the benefits of free market capitalism.

In the next part of our podcast, we discussed the federal reserve decision not to raise the interest rate. Can the Feds raise rates without the economy falling apart? Finally, we talked about the ongoing war on drug and why the government is on the losing side of the war.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St and independent financial journalist and managing editor of The News Doctors, Eric Dubin, are back for episode #19 of the Welcome to Dystopia podcast.

The special guest on this podcast is Gold Anti-Tust Action Committee (GATA) http://www.gata.org/, President Bill Murphy. Bill has decades of experience trading commodities and also writes a popular newsletter at Le Metropole Cafe.

During this episode, Jason congratulates Bill and GATA for being vindicated with Deutsche Bank (DB) admitting manipulation of gold and silver and now agreeing to turn in evidence and help implicate its other co-conspirators.

Eric and Jason ask Bill many questions about the gold and silver markets.

Bill says US investment banks still haven't been named yet for their role but hopefully this will change soon. GATA has also not been contacted about testifying about the manipulation occurring.

After the interview with Bill is finished, Jason and Eric discuss why the Japanese Yen has been strengthening against the US Dollar and what that might be signaling?

The Yen carry trade being unwound on a large scale may be signalling that global asset prices are about to have a major correction.

Next, Jason and Eric talk about the large banks' exposure to bad oil loans and how it is still massive.
